Pope Francis said in a newspaper
interview Sunday that people must work for peace against
indifference.
"The wish for the future is peace, peace in the martyred Ukraine
and in all the other countries that suffer the horror of war,"
the Pope said in the interview with Fatto Quotidiano on the 10
year anniversary of his pontificate Monday.
"One thing that makes me suffer a lot is the globalisation of
indifference, turning one's face to the other side and saying
and thinking that if they did not make weapons for a year,
hunger would end."
Francis then spoke of corruption, which "makes the soul rot.
"In the Church, as in politics and in society in general, we
must always warn against the grave danger of corruption".
Turning his attention to the mafia, Francis said "Mafiosi are
excommunicated: they have blood money on their hands. They do
business with weapons and drugs. They kill young people and
society. They kill the future. We must be clear: there is no
place in the Church for mafiosi!"
